What is "ssss"? Where can I download "ssss"?
ssss is an implementation of Shamir's secret sharing scheme for UNIX systems, especially developed for linux machines. The code is licensed under the GNU GPL. ssss does both: the generation of shares for a known secret and the reconstruction of a secret using user provided shares. The software was written in 2006 by B. Poettering, it links against the GNU libgmp multiprecision library (version 4.1.4 works well) and requires the /dev/random entropy source. Please send bug reports to ssss AT point-at-infinity.org.
